hello all, i'd like to invite someone to go chase a few walleyes with me this afternoon, for the sunset bite! i need some help getting on and off the ice, my portable is to hard to get into and out of my truck by myself(two person clam). i've had a scope done on my knees and now i'm a bit of a gimp! i know of a few spots on Prior we can try. if you'd like to hit the lake today(2-2:30 ish) and you can lend me a hand, drop me an email, thx Dogg

Those are some nice fat bass😉. Avon area is fun, lots of good water out there. Spunk chain has nice green bass and a bonus walleye now and then. . Pelican and Pine are both worth a try a couple times a yr as well, have done very goid on Pine when its been too windy to get on the bigger lakes. You mentioned a kayak? St Johns lakes are awsome, though I haven't been out there in couple yrs

Headed up tomorrow for Memorial weekend. Any tips on walleye patterns? Deep? Shallow? Still chubs/rainbows? Not looking for spots or secrets, just a little info to get started. Smallies move up yet with the water temp rising?

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources urges property owners in the southern part of the state to wait one month before removing evergreens that are showing stress after a harsh winter and late spring. Some will recover.
DNR forest health specialists have received reports of spruce, white cedar, and white pine that appeared to die suddenly in Fillmore, Houston, Freeborn, Goodhue, and Hennepin counties.
In some cases, up to 90 percent of needles in the upper canopy of spruce trees have fallen off, while the bottom branches remained green.
“In most instances, this extensive needle loss is the result of severe winter drying,” said Brian Schwingle, DNR forest health specialist. “Warm, windy days with low humidity in late April caused evergreen needles to lose moisture, and the frozen soil in the root zone prevented water from moving back into the needles to replace that moisture.”
Recently planted evergreens and smaller trees were hardest hit.
Schwingle recommends that people keep an eye on their evergreens and wait to see if they regain their canopy with new growth. Trees with 50 percent or more of their needle canopy remaining could recover.

I don't follow things closely, so I just found out about this last night. The Lake Vermilion Fire Brigade is hosting a pig roast fundraiser on Saturday from 4-7pm to support its operations. There are live and silent auctions along with stuff for the kids. Check it out: http://www.lakevermilionfirebrigade.com/a-squealin-good-time-for-all-ages/
We are going to go.

I’ve heard phenomenal things about the rivers, willhave to pull the kayak out and get on it. Thank you everyone for the feedback. I’ve checked out Clearwater, I really enjoyed it but lately it seems to tough for my 14ft boat to be stable out there on a windy day. I’ve had success in Avon lately.
